Whether in a restaurant or on the subway, it has become increasingly common to see young people absorbed in their phones, endlessly scrolling through short videos.
Every transformative technology reshapes not only what humans can do, but how we think. The smartphone, for example, compressed the world into the palm of our hands. It expanded access to information while quietly cultivating new forms of dependence.
"Wish you a Happy Chinese New Year, with a heart full of love and festive cheer. Chase your dreams, let go of fear, with your family, friends, and loved ones near."
British Prime Minister Keir Starmer's visit to Shanghai's Yuyuan Garden has thrust a local pastry into the global spotlight.
Over 12.69 million posts related to ice and snow were uploaded to the short-video platform Douyin in 2025, an increase of over 128 percent year-on-year.
On the first day of the Chinese New Year, the 2026 Fujian Spring Festival Gala was broadcast worldwide, linking audiences across continents in a shared celebration of heritage and reunion in the Year of the Horse.
Take Dreams as Steeds, an ongoing exhibition at the Art Museum of the Beijing Fine Art Academy, guides the audience on a spiritual journey in which the horse, as a revisited motif, is embedded with rich meanings.
Handwritten or printed, the couplets rendered in the calligraphic style have been an essential part of the festive customs associated with Chinese New Year celebrations.
If every musical instrument were a language, what would be spoken by the ruan — an ancient Chinese four-string plucked lute that once flourished, nearly vanished, and has now returned to public life?
One's fondest memories are often those spent with like-minded people.
With its dark, beady eyes, delightfully dorky expression, and wild mane of hair flying in the wind, a little horse is sprinting into the spotlight. As the Chinese Year of the Horse arrives, a culturally creative product named Ma Biaobiao from the Shandong Art Museum has become a smash hit.
While professional craftsmen showcase their creative minds and dexterous fingers by carving materials such as wood and jade, others perform the same artistry in the kitchen, working their magic on a very different surface — a fluffy steamed bun.
